The colourful kingfishers and cranes have been continuing to entertain visitors with their courtship this week.
Footage sent in by a viewer shows that the cranes can really dance — or rather one of the two in the clip is making the effort anyway! Meanwhile the kingfishers took a break from their nest building to pose nicely side by side enabling an interesting comparison of the differences between the male and female bird. But despite all these colourful characters James Lees, who presents this week’s Wildlife Weekly is most excited by footage taken by a camera trap in the dark. Find out what creatures have been captured at night in this exclusive footage. The southerly winds and continuing mild conditions should see an influx of summer birds coming to Slimbridge, tune in next week to see the latest changes on the reserve.
